Help with WM5.0/WM6.1 Contacts (pim.vol)

[venom889]

Well I decided to try out WM6.1 tonight, so I backed up my pim.vol to my SD card, and went on my merry way with PPCGeeks's BuildOS tool. Flawless. Love the program (<3), love WM6.1. Unfortunately upon trying to reload my contacts, it auto-exits the contact application. Upon further review, turns out the formatting is different between 5.0 and 6.1! So I reflash to 5.0 (using the .exe supplied by HTC on their website - xv6700 AKU3.zip) hoping to be able to find another way to do this, but to no luck! The flash worked fine but when I open up the contacts list, it flashes and goes away! Ahhh!

Do I need to try a different ROM version? I would love my contacts back as soon as I can!!!

Thanks PPCGeeks
